Chapter 140: Just Wait and See

As the news cameras shifted their focus, the crowd, infuriated by Amber's audacity to continue her tirade, swarmed the scene to confront her. The sheer number of people caused a traffic jam outside the police station, forcing the officers to intervene to maintain order. However, it seemed even the police couldn't stand by Amber's actions; they merely kept the crowd from blocking traffic but did nothing to stop them from attacking her.

Amber and Elizabeth screamed in pain as they were pelted with objects, their heads bleeding and appearances disheveled, yet no one showed them sympathy. Eventually, they were taken away by an ambulance. Coincidentally, the hospital they were brought to was the same one where Hugo had just been wheeled out of the operating room. Tina and her group, who had been accompanying Hugo, overheard nurses whispering about the newly arrived patients. "Those two from the news? The mother who accused their son of pedophilia and the daughter who accused her foster father of indecency?" one nurse said. "Yeah, they had their heads split open. We intentionally reduced their anesthesia during stitching; they screamed in agony!" another responded with a smirk. The nurses laughed and walked away.

Tina glanced at Hugo, who was still under the effects of anesthesia, his eyes closed in deep sleep. Despite only being in detention for two days, he had visibly lost weight, his face hollowed and dark circles under his eyes betraying his recent suffering. Recollecting the twenty-three stitches the surgeon had shown them, a cold smile slowly formed on Tina's lips.

Jennie had been muttering about ensuring Hugo would sue Amber for slander once he awoke. To Tina, however, compared to the harm Amber had inflicted on Hugo's family, suing her seemed hardly a punishment.

Sensing Tina's thoughts, Jared Farrell whispered, "Feeling unsatisfied?"
